lookup from newly defined field

This is my search...

index=webproxy 
| regex user=".+a" 
| top 100 user
| eval user_name=substr(user,1,5)

I have a lookup table that uses the filed user to enrich my data.

How can I pass the newly defined field user_name to the lookup to give me the enriched results?

I figured it out

index=webproxy earliest=-9d 
| regex user=".*.a$" 
| top 100 user 
| eval user_name=substr(user,1,5) 
| eval user=user_name 
| lookup people_table user
